It's not e-paper, it's a different approach called "Live Paper" that's far more practical for everything beyond reading, yet still fantastic in direct sun:
For reading, use Kindle (or any Android reader) in landscape 2 page mode for an experience that's like reading a paperback, or portrait for textbooks/PDFs. Work beautifully in the brightest direct sun, or read with calming firelight colored backlight in the dark.
Runs M365 suite perfectly, so ideal as an all in one.
